It’s Emily’s last day as a Little Peanut! She has been talking about going to school for months so I have no doubts she’s ready for bigger and better things! Good luck, Emily!

Time for another Little Peanut to leave the nest! Charlie has been the easiest, most chillest kiddo to care for over the last 4 years! I am so excited for him to learn all the things and make all the friends in 4 year old preschool!

‘Love can’t be the funding model’: Iowa child care faces mounting pressure

Today is officially Mackay’s last day at Little Peanuts! He has been a joy to care for over the last four and a half years! His family has been with me for 8 years so this is such a big day! I hope he and his siblings have the best memories of their time with me and I hope they know I will always hold a place in my heart for them❤️
